Tilda Swinton delves into the art-filled house—and dazzling minds—of legendary collectors Dominique and John de Menil. See her surreal adventure here.
One of my favorite style of art is of course, surrealism. I love the idea of being able to become one with objects, or to be able to step inside those tiny places you've always wanted to go!! Surrealism remains a great inspiration for the fashion world. Designers embraced the ideals and aesthetics of such creative geniuses as Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte and Man Ray. With those fun, amusing and extraordinary creations, they quickly began to unstitch the institutionalized notions of fashion, adding imagination, color and scandal. Fashion & Surrealism is a testament to the fruitful infatuation that fashion has had with Surrealism, an infatuation that is still very visible in the works contemporary designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier!!

I've blogged quite a bit about the fashions by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac because he so often references pop culture and fine art in his unique designs. Woman/Ray, an obvious name play, is his latest collection. The Autumn Winter 2011 line is one of my favorites, with several of the pieces incorporating the photographic imagery and surrealism of legendary Dadaist Man Ray. In addition to using some of Man Ray's most famous photographs as prints and hats, JCDC also includes animated imagery from Disney's 101 Dalmations, plaids, skulls and skeletons in his latest ready-to-wear collection. In the past, I've found his whimsical fashions - like his Muppets collection and the South Park collection - fun to look at but not very wearable. This collection, however, includes some of the most beautiful and flattering coats, dresses and creations I've seen from the designer. ManRay: Man Ray's most well-known photographs, Le Violon d'Ingres (The Violin of Ingres), 1924 and Glass Tears, 1932, serve as a prints for a dresses and skirts: Hands, lips, ears and eyes - other common Man Ray subjects- appear in the collection in unique applications: 101 Dalmations Skulls and Skeletons: Other pieces in the collection include various plaids, equestrian-inspired, handwritten and hand drawn prints and wonderful coats. Plaids: Equestrian inspired: Handwriting: And other noteworthy pieces: That is most of the collection, to see every piece, go here. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, also known as JC/DC, was born 28 November 1949 in Casablanca, Morocco. As the Marquis de Castelbajac, he is a French nobleman. He has enjoyed international success with some of his creations, including a coat of teddy bears worn by pop star Madonna and by supermodel Helena Christensen in the film Prêt-à-Porter. As well as his imaginative clothing collections, the designer creates home furnishings.
The surreal sculptures, installations, and photographs of Dutch artist Guda Koster subvert fashion and create entirely new worlds with its elements. Considering herself more sculptor than photographer, each of these images begin with a live experience that has been constructed, cut, sewn, posed, and then photographed with a timer, as the artist is often present in the pieces.
With her genuinely shocking style, Isabella Blow was an utterly rare creature in fashion. We celebrate her on what would have been her 56th birthday.
